Honorable mention, 2007 Lewis Mumford Prize, American Society of City and Regional Planning The nineteenth century was the golden age of the horse. In urban America, the indispensable horse provided the power for not only vehicles that moved freight, transported passengers, and fought fires but also equipment in breweries, mills, foundries, and machine shops. Clay McShane and Joel A. Tarr, prominent scholars of American urban life, here explore the critical role that the horse played in the growing nineteenth-century metropolis. Using such diverse sources as veterinary manuals, stable periodicals, teamster magazines, city newspapers, and agricultural yearbooks, they examine how the horses were housed and fed and how workers bred, trained, marketed, and employed their four-legged assets. Not omitting the problems of waste removal and corpse disposal, they touch on the municipal challenges of maintaining a safe and productive living environment for both horses and people and the rise of organizations like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In addition to providing an insightful account of life and work in nineteenth-century urban America, The Horse in the City brings us to a richer understanding of how the animal fared in this unnatural and presumably uncomfortable setting.

The fate of the Horses rests on the back of one mare... Lilly, a young mare of unique beauty, suffered a terrible loss of her parents as a foal during the conquering of her home, the kingdom of Aethon, by the race of powerful winged equines called the Pegasi of Avia. Four years since then, she and her uncle Thor reside with their kind in Petrus, the capital city of the Avian Empire, as the "lowest class of society". One day, her life is suddenly changed forever when every young mare in the empire are gathered to the palace, where they would compete for the marriage to the newest Pegasus King, Darien. Under her promise to her uncle, Lilly disguises herself as a Unicorn name Artemis, hiding her identity as one of the Horses. In a seemingly unexpected turn of events, King Darien falls in love with her and nominates her as the Queen of Avia. However, as soon as the royal wedding is established, trouble arises as conspirators rally against the King. To make matters worse, Prince Aramis, King Darien's older brother and most trusted advisor, hatches an evil plan to annihilate every Horse in the city forever. In the midst of the darkened times, Lilly will soon discover that she has been chosen by Adonis- the Creator- to free her kind. But will she be willing to risk her life- and possibly betray the stallion she loves- to save her kind from Aramis' tyranny?

This collection explores what the social and philosophical aspects of veganism offer to critical theory. Bringing together leading and emerging scholars working in animal studies and critical animal studies, Thinking Veganism in Literature and Culture shows how the experience of being vegan, and the conditions of thought fostered by veganism, pose new questions for work across multiple disciplines. Offering accounts of veganism which move beyond contemporary conceptualizations of it as a faddish dietary preference or set of proscriptions, it explores the messiness and necessary contradictions involved in thinking about or practicing a vegan way of life. By thinking through as well as about veganism, the project establishes the value of a vegan mode of reading, writing, looking, and thinking.
